New White House Addition

school lunches and obesity. It's not a

Alice Waters happy.

The Obamas’ chef and nutrition policy adviser Sam Kass is stepping down this month. Here are six things, in addition to cooking for the first family five nights a week, that Kass accomplished during his six years in the White House.
